American Literature and Therapeutic Cultures
This course will explore the attractions and risks of visions of literature as a healing art. To do so, the notion of “therapeutic cultures” will allow us to examine American literature’s broad ties to curative practices beyond psychotherapy, including to such alternate discourses as self-help. After theoretical readings and discussions in the first weeks, we will turn our attention to the interaction between literary and therapeutic paradigms in a range of literary texts, by writers such as Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), F. Scott Fitzgerald, or Lorrie Moore.

“The Female Body in Irish Fiction: The Case of the Magdalen Laundries”
We will read Claire Keegan’s novel Small Things Like These (2021) in the light of recent scholarship on the topic of the Magdalen Laundries in Ireland. Special attention will be brought to the representations of the female body in Keegan’s novel, with reference to Dermot Bolger’s novel A Second Life (2010), Paul Muldoon’s poem ‘At Tuam’ (2018) and Patricia Burke Brogan’s play Eclipsed (1994).

“The British women’s movement from first to second wave feminism: claims, strategies and discourses”.
Ce cours porte sur l’histoire du mouvement féministe britannique, du milieu du XIXème siècle au début des années quatre-vingt.
Féministes de la « première vague » (terme inventé en 1868 par une journaliste du New York Times Magazine) et de la deuxième vague ont souvent été opposés en raison de leurs objectifs et revendications apparemment très distincts : on a ainsi longtemps repproché aux féministes de la première vague d’avoir concentré leur lutte sur le pouvoir politique des femmes, par opposition aux inégalités officieuses.
L’objectif de ce cours et de nuancer cette vision simpliste, en rattachant revendications et discours des unes et des autres à leur contexte historique et politique, et d’entamer une réflexion sur ce qui a pu motiver certaines stratégies plus que d’autres.
